Hello there. This is the prologue to my Go-Go Tomago Fanfic. Hope you enjoy.
Go-Go raced to school. She had stayed up late working on a new Maglev model for her bike and had fallen asleep at her home lab. After a quick shower and clean up, Go-Go had jumped on her bike and speed over to the university as fast as the bike would allow. When she got to the school, Go-Go slipped in an open door and almost crashed into an iron beam.
Right before she killed herself, Go-Go was ripped from her bike and dangled helplessly in the air as her bike skidded under the beam and scared several other students and professors.
"How many times have I told you no bikes in the building!?" Go-Go turned to look at one of the professors. Jigoku Ikurai, Professor of robotics and nuclear technologies, glared at her through his sunglasses with a disappointing frown.
"I'm late." Go-Go grumbled. She really hated when she got caught by Professor Ikurai. Not because she got caught but because he was barely older than she was. By eight days in fact; and he didn't let her forget it either.
"I know. To my class no less. Now put your bike away and make sure you have last night's homework ready to turn in." He dropped her.
Go-Go landed steadily on her feet and walked over to her bike. Luckily it had only minor painting scrapes and nothing important was damaged. She picked it up and rolled it to the lab. After making sure it was secure, Go-Go pulled open a drawer and pulled out her homework. She grumbled all the way to her class and made a silent entry in hopes of avoiding Professor Ikurai's piercing glare.
"Tomago, homework."
Failure. Go-Go walked over to the professor and handed him the homework. She silently glared at everyone who snickered at her tardiness. He gave it a quick scan and put it on his desk. He made a motion for her to sit down. Grumbling even more, Go-Go took her seat next to Hiro. She punched his shoulder as he tried horribly to hide his smirk. Professor Ikurai continued his lecture on the latest robotic techniques and Go-Go fell into her normal half listening and half plotting Ikurai's ruin. Behind her were a couple of girls, gossiping. Go-Go ignored them for the most part and for the parts she just shook her head.
"The professor is fit, don't you think?" one of the girls whispered. Go-Go turned and gave the girls an incredulous look. There was nothing attractive about that arrogant man. His forest green eyes and long, silky black hair, his lithe build and intimidating aura. Let's not forget to mention that annoyingly perfect, clean shaven face. Nope…not attractive at all.
About half way through the class, a red envelope began to flash on the holo-screen. Go-Go watched curiously as Professor Ikurai opened the live feed to the nuclear lab in the west building. A student's sweaty face appeared on the screen and more students were running around behind him.
"Professor, something is happening within the generators. We've tried isolating the problem but the generator is throwing electrostatic waves that are interfering with the tech."
Go-Go and Hiro stood up but Professor Ikurai was already out the door. Hiro rushed to the keypad and begun to type furiously. Suddenly all the cameras from the west building were pulled and mass chaos was occurring. Go-Go started to head to the doors when Professor Ikurai's voice could be heard over the cameras shouting orders. Go-Go looked back at the holo-screen. The chaos had become organized action the second Ikurai had arrived. The intercom rang and Ikurai's voice issued something everyone wished they'd never hear.
"Attention all student and staff. I'm issuing nuclear code: Crimson. Please remain calm and run as fast as you can. This is not a drill. Repeat this is not a drill."
Instantly every student in the entire school streamed outside and made their way across town and as far away as they could get. Hiro and Go-Go were still in the class room monitoring the action as it happened. Go-Go watched as Professor Ikurai disregarded his own advice and pulled several levers around the reactor and lowered the blast shields around it.
"Professor those won't do a thing to stop the meltdown." Hiro said. Go-Go watched Ikurai freeze and look at the nearest camera.
"Idiots! Leave now!"
"Not when..."
"When what!? There only has to be one casualty! Go-Go, I've already lost one Hamada; don't you dare let me lose another one!"
Go-Go grabbed Hiro by the waist and threw him over her shoulder. She bolted through the door and hopped into the nearest car, hot-wired it and screeched out of the parking lot. Hiro was throwing a fit.
"What are you doing!?" he yelled, "We can help him. We need to get Baymax and the others! We can go help him contain the blast!"
Go-Go shook her head, "That entire lab was built to contain a nuclear meltdown. It's the fuel cells outside that we're running from. When those things ignite, the entire building will be obliterated."
Hiro struggled even more the further they got from the university. Everyone around the car was running in the direction away from the place they just came from. Go-Go could only think of Ikurai as he activated every safeguard he, himself, had installed just in case this happened. All the blast walls and screens would be containing the fuel cells and the reactor's explosion. She hoped with all her being that he'd make it out alive.
Go-Go saw the blinding light in the rearview mirror and threw her arm to stop Hiro as the shock wave hit. Go-Go head the steering wheel and instantly blacked out.
When she came to, Go-Go was in a hospital surrounded by her friends. Baymax was giving her a medical run down of her injuries and in a lot of unnecessary words told her that she hit her head really hard. Go-Go tried to sit up and the world around her blurred.
"Whoa whoa whoa," Wasabi said as he gently pushed her back down, "Don't push yourself."
"Hiro." She hated how weak her voice sounded. Hiro's head popped into sight with a relieve smile.
"I'm here. How do you feel?"
Go-Go chuckled. The words she wanted to use were far from appropriate for a boy his age. She relaxed on her bed, glad that everyone survived. Then it hit her. She shot upright, ignoring the wooziness, "What about Ikurai!?"
The look on everyone's faces fell and only added fear to the answer she wasn't sure she wanted to hear.
"They haven't found his body yet but there's still a lot of rubble to be moved." Honey said optimistically. Go-Go fell back onto the bed. She was afraid. When Tadashi died, she felt something that was just as overpowering as it was now but she had to be strong, just like when Tadashi died. She had to be there for her friends. In the back of her mind, Go-Go secretly hoped that this was something like what happened with Callaghan. Just without the villainy that transpired with Callaghan.
Cass ran into the room.
"They found him." Everyone sighed and then cheered. Wasabi turned and turned on the T.V. and the scene was one that eased her doubts. On the screen was group of firefighters hauled an unconscious Jigoku Ikurai from a hole. His entire chest and arms were bloody and burned and there was a large gash on his right cheek. The reporter's voice suddenly could be heard by Go-Go.
"Professor Jigoku Ikurai is the only person who might have knowledge of what actually and is going to be recognized as a hero for his brave deeds and quick actions that save thousands of live. Confirmed by the Paramedics, the only injuries the Professor sustained were burns to the chest, back and arms; as well as a large cut to the face. This is San Fran News, coming to you from the scene."
Go-Go sighed. Not a single casualty and the Professor survived. A miracle by all standards.
"Your neurological action has increased. Is there something wrong?" Baymax asked. Go-Go chuckled at the marshmallow robot.
"No, I'm happy that everyone is okay."
But that was a lie. She was overjoyed. Ikurai lived, hurt but alive. That was all she could ask for.
"Why are you crying? Does it hurt somewhere?" Baymax asked. His chest glowed and several faces and numbers appeared on it. Go-Go could feel the heat trail down her face
"On a scale from one to ten; how would you rate your pain?"
"Oh, she's not crying because she's hurt, Baymax. Those are tears of joy." Honey explained to Baymax as she hugged Go-Go. Everyone said comforting words except Fred who said something really stupid. After a little while, Honey pulled back and gave her a knowing look.
"Now are you going to ask him out for a date or what?"
